Prospective design-build teams must submit their Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) by April 17, 2013. KDOT will evaluate the SOQs and announce a shortlist of up to four teams on May 8.

Burt Morey, project manager for KDOTs first design-build project, explained that given the interchange’s importance to Johnson County and Kansas, KDOT has decided to use an innovative process known as design-build to complete the project more quickly and to maximize the value of the $250 million investment by Kansas taxpayers.
